.ca registrar in Canada, read from its own storefront on 2026-10-20

Can a member of the public buy a .ca here?

Its own page offers .ca through a English storefront, but on 2026-10-20 it printed no .ca price with its VAT treatment that this site could read, so it is listed on the Canada page as read and not ranked.

Why it is not ranked

The page prints .ca at C$0.01 for the first year with C$21.99 beside it, but states no GST/HST treatment, so it cannot be set beside a tax-inclusive price.

What its page printed

".ca Domain Names ... Starting at C$21.99 C$0.01 /1st yr"; no GST/HST wording.

Read from https://www.godaddy.com/en-ca/tlds/ca-domain on 2026-10-20. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the Canada storefronts were read

CIRA's .CA Marketplace, which CIRA says lists all .CA Certified Registrars, was read on 2026-09-29 (34 registrars once "View all certified providers" was opened), and 11 storefronts were opened from it. GoDaddy and Namecheap refused the read, Hover and easyDNS show US dollars, and HostPapa shows a bare "$". CanSpace, WHC and Rebel print .ca in Canadian dollars, but no page read states whether GST/HST is included, so no store is ranked. On 2026-10-20 the 2 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 2 were read this time, 0 still could not be, and none of those read prints a comparable .ca price.

FAQ

Is GoDaddy accredited to sell .ca?

Yes. GoDaddy is on the accredited-registrar list CIRA publishes, read on 2026-09-29. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .ca to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.

What does GoDaddy charge for a .ca domain?

Its page offers .ca, but on 2026-10-20 it printed no .ca price with its VAT treatment that this site could read: The page prints .ca at C$0.01 for the first year with C$21.99 beside it, but states no GST/HST treatment, so it cannot be set beside a tax-inclusive price.

Has this site tested GoDaddy?

No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on GoDaddy, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .ca ranking on the Canada page orders registrars by one printed price only.
